Issue

Whatever I do following the simple installation and configuration tutorial, I see a default view after restart.

Xubuntu LTS 18.04

Is there a (debug) log to follow which configuration file has been loaded?

Is there a (debug) log to follow which configuration file has been loaded?

conky -D in the terminal.

$ conky -D DEBUG(0) [/home/user/src/conky/src/conky.cc:2544]: reading contents from config file '/home/user/.conkyrc'

I don't think it parses ~/.config/conky.conf by default. You can add conky -c ~/.config/conky.conf to your application launcher.

@lasers thank you a lot! conky -c does the job!
